Kong Ingild, Louis Moe, 1898

Kong ingild. The king is described in gesta danorum in the following way: "frode was succeeded by his son ingild, whose soul was perverted from honour. He forsook the examples of his forefathers, and utterly enthralled himself to the lures of the most wanton profligacy. Thus he had not a shadow of goodness and righteousness, but embraced vices instead of virtue; he cut the sinews of self-control, neglected the duties of his kingly station, and sank into a filthy slave of riot. " elton's translation. Date: 1898.
